1. About TABU

TABU Trading API Bot ("TABU", "the App", "we", "us", or "our") is a software application and technical infrastructure platform designed to allow users to create, configure, operate and communicate with automated trading bots.

TABU may connect to third-party trading platforms, including Trading 212, through APIs or other technical interfaces.

TABU is an independent, unofficial third-party application and is not owned, operated, endorsed, sponsored, or officially affiliated with Trading 212 or any other third-party trading platform unless explicitly stated otherwise.

The name of a third-party trading platform may be used solely to describe compatibility or integration with that platform.

You must be at least 18 years old to use TABU. By creating an account you confirm that you are 18 or older.

These Terms include the following documents, which you can read at any time in the App (Settings, About):

2. What TABU Does

The exact features available may change over time.

TABU primarily provides the software, server infrastructure and communication framework required for these functions.

3. TABU Is Not a Broker or Custodian

TABU does not:

Your money and investments remain with the relevant third-party trading platform or financial institution.

TABU does not have ownership of your funds or investments merely because you connect your account or API credentials to the App.

4. No Financial or Investment Advice

TABU is a software and technology platform.

Nothing provided through TABU should be interpreted as:

You are solely responsible for deciding whether to use a trading strategy, bot, security, instrument, market or trading platform.

You should obtain independent financial advice if you require advice about your personal circumstances or investments.

5. Automated Trading

A bot may automatically generate or submit orders without requiring manual confirmation for every transaction.

Depending on the strategy and configuration, a bot may:

You are responsible for understanding and testing any bot before allowing it to trade with real money.

6. User Responsibility for Trading Decisions

You are solely responsible for:

TABU does not determine whether a particular trade is appropriate for you.

7. User-Created Bots

TABU may allow users to create their own bots, strategies, scripts, configurations or other automated trading logic.

Where you create your own bot or strategy, you are solely responsible for it.

TABU does not guarantee that a user-created bot will:

You should thoroughly test user-created bots before using them with real funds.

8. TABU Bot Frameworks and Templates

TABU may provide pre-built bot frameworks, templates, examples, strategies, configurations or other software components.

These are provided as software tools and are not guarantees of investment performance.

Any historical results, examples, simulations, demonstrations or hypothetical performance figures should not be interpreted as guarantees of future performance.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

9. Third-Party Trading Platforms

TABU may integrate with third-party services such as Trading 212.

Your use of any third-party trading platform is subject to that platform's own terms, conditions, policies and requirements.

TABU does not control:

A third-party platform may change or discontinue an API or integration at any time.

Such changes may cause TABU functionality to stop working or operate differently.

10. Order Execution

TABU does not guarantee the execution of any order.

Orders submitted through a bot may be:

Market prices can change rapidly.

The price displayed in TABU or another application may differ from the eventual execution price.

The relevant third-party trading platform remains responsible for the actual execution of orders placed through its systems.

11. API Credentials and Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your trading account and API credentials.

You must not provide your credentials to unauthorised persons.

Where TABU requires API credentials or tokens to connect to a third-party platform, you authorise TABU to use those credentials solely for the technical functions you have enabled.

You should use the minimum permissions necessary for the intended functionality where the third-party platform provides permission controls.

You should immediately revoke or change credentials if you believe they have been compromised.

TABU will not be responsible for losses caused by credentials being disclosed, stolen, improperly configured or otherwise compromised, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. No Guarantee of Availability

TABU is provided on an "as available" and "as is" basis to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We do not guarantee that:

Maintenance, updates, technical problems, outages, security incidents or third-party service changes may temporarily interrupt the service.

13. Trading and Financial Risk

Trading financial instruments involves the risk of losing money.

You should only trade money that you can afford to lose.

Automated trading can increase the speed and frequency with which transactions occur and may therefore increase potential losses.

You acknowledge that you may lose some or all of the money allocated to a trading strategy.

TABU does not guarantee that any strategy, bot or configuration will be profitable.

14. No Responsibility for Investment Losses

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TABU and its owner, developers, operators and service providers are not responsible for investment losses resulting from:

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

15. No Guarantee Against Duplicate or Unintended Orders

Because automated trading depends on software, APIs, networks and third-party systems, there is a risk that an order may be submitted more than once or that an order may be different from what you intended.

You are responsible for implementing appropriate safeguards, including, where available:

TABU may provide some of these safeguards, but their availability does not constitute a guarantee that unintended trades cannot occur.

16. User Monitoring

You should regularly monitor your trading account and any active bots.

Do not assume that a bot will automatically stop because a particular market condition, price, loss or other event occurs unless that functionality has been specifically implemented and tested.

TABU recommends that users understand how their bot operates before allowing it to trade with real funds.

17. Software Updates

TABU may update, modify, suspend or discontinue features at any time.

Updates may alter:

Where reasonably practical, we may provide information about significant changes.

Except where expressly permitted, you must not:

Your own trading strategies, configurations and bot code remain yours, subject to any separate licence terms that apply to third-party or TABU-provided components.

If TABU allows you to upload or create code, strategies, configurations or other content, you remain responsible for that content.

You must ensure that you have the necessary rights to use and upload it.

You grant TABU only the permissions reasonably necessary to host, process, execute, transmit or otherwise provide the functionality you have requested.

21. Fees

TABU may be offered as a free service, paid service, subscription service or a combination of these.

Any applicable fees will be presented before you are charged.

Third-party trading platforms may separately charge their own fees, commissions, spreads, currency-conversion charges or other costs.

TABU is not responsible for fees charged by third parties.

22. Termination

You may stop using TABU at any time.

We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary, including where:

Termination of TABU does not automatically close your third-party trading account.

You remain responsible for managing or disabling any active trading bots and API connections.

23. Data and Privacy

Your use of TABU may involve the processing of account information, API information, trading information, bot configurations, logs and technical information.

24. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TABU, its owner, developers, operators and service providers shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including loss of profits, loss of investment value, loss of opportunity, loss of data or business interruption arising from your use of the service.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, it will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for matters that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or other statutory rights that cannot be excluded.

25. No Waiver of Consumer Rights

If you are a consumer, applicable consumer protection laws may provide rights in addition to those described in these Terms.

26. Changes to These Terms

When we make material changes, we may provide reasonable notice where appropriate.
